M. van de Sanden1,2 1Department of Applied Physics, Eindhoven University of Technology, 2Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research We demonstrate how to determine the size distribution of semiconductor nanocrystals in a quantitative manner using Raman spectroscopy employing an analytically defined multi-particle phonon confinement model. Results obtained are in excellent agreement with the other size analysis techniques like transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy.
